Send them to me!! LOL
I started laughing as soon as I saw your title--Mark couldn't find chives the last time he went to the grocery store, and I have a few recipes that require them. I think I'm going to set up an herb garden so I can grow what I need and have it when I need it! :)
Unfortunately, I don't think they'll make it so well down to you. What are your recipes that require them?
An herb garden sounds great. I usually grow basil and sometimes a few other things, but I've never done chives. I just don't use them that much (obviously!) and I usually just skip recipes that call for them, since I don't have them on hand.
Chop em' and freeze em'! Or, give them to my kids. They love picking them from the garden and just munching on them. Maggie had gross breath all. summer. long.
You can always use them in another pot of soup!
DRY THEM! I'd chop them up and dry them on cookie sheet in cool oven. Somebody mentioned freezing- chop them up, spread loosely on a cookie sheet, place them in freezer until frozen, and then bag them up and store in freezer. I'd be more than glad to mail you a start of garlic and/or onion chive! Garlic chive will spread like a wild (self sow) if you don't regularly weed it out. Onion chive spread slowly and you can divide the clump after about two or three years.
